3-Phase High Speed & Automation

New Security Ltd can offer 3-phase operation to a range of products including; New SecurityRapid, New SecurityShield 75,77,100 and  all of our overhead sectional doors.

GFA Elektromen 3-Phase High Speed motor fitted to our Rapid Roller Doors as standard. These offer the most reliable automated and quiet operation currently on the market.

What is  3-Phase operation?

3-Phase electric operation is specifically designed for industrial use. This utilises 410v 3-phase electric rather than the standard 240v mains electric. Moreover this means our industrial motors can lift bigger doors much faster and smoother than using a standard powered motor.

Why choose 3-phase?

Choose a 3-Phase motor if your door is going to be used frequently and you need uninterrupted, reliable access. This is Ideal for factories, Workshops and warehouses where forklift trucks or delivery’s are frequent.

Automation

As standard with a 3-Phase driven door we will set it up with one press open and hold to run close. This allows ease of operation when opening, but also offers safety when closing. If you however need the door to operate by ‘one press open/close’ or via sensors then we can fully automate your door with ease by using Induction Loop systems, Radar Control, Remote or Pull Cords/Switches. These are ideal as you only need to approach the door for it to open. Handy if your in a vehicle!
